TRUE TALES OF InDUHviduals

While looking at a house, my brother asked the real estate agent
which direction was north because, he explained, he didn't want the sun
waking him up every morning. She asked, "Does the sun rise  in the north?"

When another person jumped in and explained that the sun rises in the
east (and has for some time), she shook her head and said, "Oh, I don't
keep up with that stuff."

And then she voted.
===============

I used to work in technical support for a 24x7 call center. One  day I got
a call from an InDUHvidual who asked what hours the call center  was open.
I told him, "The number you dialed is open 24 hours a  day, 7 days a
week."

He responded, "Is that Eastern or Pacific time?" Wanting to end the
call quickly, I said, "Pacific.."

And then he voted.

============

So my colleague and I were eating our lunch in our cafeteria when
we overheard one of the administrative assistants talking about the sunburn
she got on her weekend drive to the shore. She drove down  in a
convertible, but "didn't think she'd get sunburned because the car  was
moving."

And then she voted.

================

I was in a high school advanced physics class and the teacher  was
talking about a new military weapon that uses sonic waves on  the
battlefield to burst enemy soldier's chests. One InDUHvidual  in the
class spoke up and said,

"Well that's stupid! Why don't they just wear headphones?"

And a few years later, he voted.

=============

My sister has a lifesaving tool in her car. It's designed to  cut through
a seatbelt if she gets trapped. She keeps it in the  passenger side door's
map pocket.

And then she voted.

=================

My friends and I were on a beer run and noticed that the cases
were discounted 10%. Since it was a big party, we bought two  cases. The
cashier multiplied two times 10% and gave us a  20% discount.

And then they all voted.

================

I was hanging out with a conservative friend of mine when we saw  a
woman walk by us with a nose ring attached to an earring by a  chain. My
friend said, "Wouldn't the chain rip out every  time she turned her
head?"

I had to explain to her that a person's nose and ear remain the same
distance apart no matter which way the head is turned.

And then she voted.

===============

I couldn't find my luggage at the airport baggage area. So I  went to
the lost luggage office and told the woman there that my  bags never
showed up. She smiled and told me not to  worry because they
were trained professionals and I was in good  hands.

"Now," she asked me, "has your plane arrived yet?"

And then she voted.

Your post shows the main weakness of the democratic system.  While you are carefully examining all the issues, reading articles, looking at voting records, in order to make an informed decision at the voting booth - your neighbor's wife likes the way Kerry's hair looks, and decides to vote for him for that reason - cancelling out your vote.  Lack of intelligence and education are a greater danger to our form of government than Al Qaeda.

I have a freind, and everytime he sees some scum-bag doing something stupid, I remind him, "His vote counts the same as yours."

It's not really as funny as it is sad.

Our family saying about such people is: "They can vote and breed, just like you."

My mother voted for Kennedy over Nixon in 1960. Why you ask? Because Kennedy was HANDSOME.
I swear to God.
